Craap.

Don't you hate it when things are all messed up, and you have no one to blame but yourself? In a way it makes you even angrier because it was your own stupidity and no one else's, and no one likes to be reminded of their stupidity.

Let's use a (hypothetical?) example from school:

Candice has a term paper due on Thursday and another one on Monday. Wednesday night she frets and fritters about the essay but cannot seem to make any progress. "I'll give myself the weekend to do it," she says. "There will be a mark deduction but that is better than nothing." Candice falls into a deep sleep well into Friday, exhausted from her effort. Waking up so late on Friday, she decides to give herself a bit of a break, because it's always good to have time to recoup. "Tomorrow I will work on them both," she chants. Tomorrow (Saturday) comes along and Candice's friend urges her to watch a series. "One episode," Candice says. "I guess I could do a couple more," she finds herself saying on the insistence of her friend. Time passes. Pretty soon it's time for bed again. "Early to bed, early to rise!" Candice proclaims. "Tomorrow for sure." But what the heck, Candice cannot sleep! After laying in bed for hours (even pretending to try to stay awake) at 5 am she finally gets up and tries to make herself something to eat. She eats, bums around until after 7, until she realizes "Holy crap my day!" and tries desperately to sleep. Finally, around 9-ish in the morning, Candice falls asleep, waking up at noon. To prepare for the day she makes her foolproof scrambled eggs, a large mug of tea, and gets down and dirty with her laptop. Only to find out that Candice has TWO term papers due on Monday. WHAT THE FRIG. But the more important question is, why is Sa-Candice doing blogging this instead of working? At that exact moment, a saber tooth tiger smashes through the window and lunges at her beautiful body, killing her instantly. The answers to these questions forever remain unknown.

"Bad Day" - Daniel Powter

I really like this video. A lot of the ones with kind of the same story turn out to be really cheesy. But this one is actually sweet.

Funny what comes to mind when you're having a bad day. Sometimes there's really no reason, but the way you look at things just totally switch around from the positive to the negative. Whenever I'm grumpy and this song comes on, it makes me take a step back and realize that whatever I had made such a big deal of in my mind was not really that big of a deal at all - it was just how I chose to perceive it. By realizing and acknowledging the fact that a "bad day" is all that it is, I can work on improving my attitude and changing it around. So go ahead, turn it up and sing along. It's just one of those songs that is meant for doing just that :)

10 000-Can Pop Seizure Leaves Seller Puzzled

A Prince Edward Island man who had almost 10,000 cans of pop seized in an Environment Department sting can't understand why the province is making such a fuss.

It is illegal to sell flavoured, carbonated beverages in cans on P.E.I. under a law that dates back to 1984, but it won't be on the books much longer. On May 1, the Island can ban will end.

"At this stage of the game, when they're going to be legalizing it in a couple of months, they could have given me perhaps a heads-up or a warning," Errol Waugh, who runs a bottle exchange in Kensington, told CBC News Wednesday.

Last week, when he heard people had been selling canned pop at the Jack Frost Festival in Charlottetown, Waugh decided to make a special off-Island trip. He brought back five pallets of Pepsi-Cola in his pickup — almost 10,000 cans.

On Tuesday, however, one of his customers turned out to be an undercover enforcement officer with the Environment Department. The canned pop bust was P.E.I.'s largest ever.

Waugh admits to having peddled cans on a small scale for some time now. Whenever he'd go to the mainland, Islanders would ask him to pick up some canned pop. He said he'd make about a dollar on each 12-pack.

"It would be different if I was peddling drugs or contraband cigarettes or this type of thing," said Waugh.

"Everybody wants the canned pop, and if they don't get it from me, they're going to go across and get it themselves."

Waugh was not alone this week in trying to get an early start on canned pop sales. Three warnings were issued Wednesday to retailers in downtown Charlottetown. They were given until the end of business Thursday to remove the product.

Unlike the Charlottetown retailers, Waugh could be fined $1,000. He is hoping instead that officials will eventually return the pop.

Waugh says he'll likely get out of the canned pop business when it becomes legal, since the novelty of canned pop will be but a memory.

An Actual Update, Because You're Just That Lucky.

There's place in Taiwan that sells roasted marshmallows drizzled with chocolate and sprinkles... why haven't anyone thought of this before? The other one is strawberry, I believe.

Just a quick note to say that life is good and things are as usual. Nothing new and exciting, though I did have a dream last night about a $36 croissant and a new pencil that was like my favourite, except much more technologically advanced and therefore cooler. It was kind of a strange one.
